Real grants can sometimes be hard to find and it is vital to know that your research is in credible place. The last thing that you want to do is google search a grant. The sites and sales pages would be horrific and it is very hard to tell the legitimate ones from scams. A good place to start with grant research is the government and foundations. They have clear criteria. Some of my vital resources are found on the following sites:

GrantsNethttp://www.hhs.gov/grantsnet/ An electronic roadmap to grants, is sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS is the largest granting agency in the Federal government, awarding approximately 60,000 grants each year. GrantsNet offers information about HHS programs, as well as select other grant programs in the Federal government.

Center for Faith-Based & Community Initiativeshttp://www.hhs.gov/fbci/funding.html This site is extremely valuable because it provides Funding Opportunities by topic area. These grants are for community grassroots organizations, not just faith-based.

When you are searching for grants stay true to the integrity of your vision. Just because someone is offering money doesn't mean that you change your purpose to fit the funding. When you are authentic about your purpose and you enroll others in that vision you will be able to serve your constituents better knowing that you did not bend or adjust or compromise for a few dollars. Read the fine print in the grant requirements. Some grants are connected to audits, site visits and adjustments in program criteria - make sure that it alligns with your overall goals so that you can be proud of your efforts and that the "grantor" will be confident in your efforts to further your cause. Everytime you get a grant it is an opportunity for marketing the organization and establishing a press release to the public of this new alliance. When someone supports your efforts they are declaring that they believe in what you are doing, don't be apprehensive of taking advantage of that platform. Every opportunity to add social proof is your opportunity to further your cause. Please feel free to visit us at www.ExemptMeAnGele.com for upcoming workshops and new information.

As the times get harder during this recession the economic cries of the small business owner can be heard throughout the high rises, the strip malls and office buildings of America. What are they saying, “Help us, we are in debt and we need more credit to create the opportunity and resources to get us out of debt.” With this type of attitude you don’t want to succumb to the credit companies that circle the last of your resources like vultures. You will be told that you need an aged or seasoned corporation because no one will fund a new business (start up business) without requiring a personal guarantor and no one wants to personal guarantee.
Common Reasons for a shelf/aged corporation

To save the time involved in taking the steps to create a new corporation.

To gain the opportunity to bid on contracts.

To create an appearance of corporate longevity.

To gain access to investment capital.

To gain easier access to corporate credit.

DefinitionAged Corporation - is ready-made corporation that has been available for a period of time with no business activity, no liabilities and no assetsThe Truth…if an aged corporation has no business activity, no liabilities and no assets – it will not be of any value to you to build credit. This inactive entity will show a period of dormancy that any underwriter will be able to detect. Has the ownership, officers, name, venue changed abruptly, because if so even DNB will consider this a new business and the funding limitations will be that of a standard SBA loan for a start up.1. Before you engage research the company you are doing business with…2. Before you buy shelf corporations see whose shelf it has been sitting on…Okay so they have told you that they you need to buy shelf or aged corporations that have been groomed for this very moment of you acquiring credit. Make sure that once you purchase this corporation that you check out the history; where has it been, who were the owners, was it ever in default? Certain aspects of the history will affect the probability of you establishing credit. Underwriters are not stupid and neither are you, ask the following questions:Who owns the corporation? Will I get the stock certificates? Did you farm (grow in house – from corporate filing ‘til now), pirate (acquire a corporation in default) or acquire from a third party the corporation that you are selling me? Will I be provided with the minutes and resolutions of activity or at least annual compliance? Will you be providing tax returns? Will you be providing financial statements? How much will this cost up front? How many points will this cost me on the back? How much will this cost in maintenance?

I am sure that you are seeking answers to questions like; where can I get money through my corporation, can I purchase a house in my corporation, can I get one million dollars for my corporation, can I…can I … can I?

I wish I had $1, just $1 for every single time someone walked into my office and asked these questions. The hope of the entrepreneur and the desperate business owner to have answers to, “where is the money”, “show me the money” or “mo money, mo money, mo money”. It is hope that beckons these subtle words in the quiet (well not so quiet) corporate offices in the San Fernando Valley on a cool California afternoon. Haven’t you heard the words of Obama releasing money to small businesses and the thousands of ambitious owners who want their piece of the bail out funds. Bail out; don’t be imprisoned by the pejorative masses that will run after the check when it passes the bank’s clearing house.

Ladies and gentleman... the rules have changed... and most of us are playing the game of our fathers and grandfathers. Don’t get duped by these companies that send out their sales force of wolves to tell you the simple truths that a good consultant, attorney, CPA and most importantly Google can figure out.

GOOD NEWS:

Each week I will share with you some simple rules to ensure that you are not one of those people that will call my office six months from now asking if I can fix the dilemma that your corporation or limited liability company is in. Continue to follow the blog to get all the tips you will need!

Before you engage research the company you are doing business with…
There are some big players in the space of the corporate credit, but the industry has changed drastically. The world is much more interested in international markets, companies that are leaving the smallest carbon footprint and ones effort in going eco friendly. The times of no credit check and small businesses being newly established getting lines of credit from major banks are a thing of the past. Make sure that the strategy in acquiring your new business credit makes traditional sense. If it doesn’t make sense to you, I doubt very much it will make sense to the bank.
